------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Nov 10 09:36:03 -0800 2005 ------- Well, I know kerning is a font issue, but the currently behaviour is weird for non english typers. Read bellow Currently: Kerning pairs are used correctly (if the user marks this option) and OOo uses the data in font files. Then, for example, the pair "Te" is kerned ok. But if you type in Spanish (or most European languages), the pair "Té" is not kerned, because there is no info in font data about "Té" pair. But the "é" char is very similar to "e" char, so "Te" and "Té" should be kerned the same way. This behaviour is caused by font makers, since they don't include accented chars (and other chars like ñ) in their kerning pairs. Objective: To manage some non-kerning pairs as kerning pairs. Alternative one: Modify all the font files on the user's system to add some kerning pairs! Alternative two, better, IMHO: In OOo, define tables of new kerning pairs based on existing font kernig pairs. This tables could be font dependent ones, user dependent ones and/or language dependent ones.
